# 18 Sometimes carrots have a really terrible taste.

Sometimes carrots have a really terrible taste. When you bite into a carrot, you expect it to taste like a carrot. Right? How do you begin to even describe the taste of a carrot? One sort of already knows what a carrot should taste like. I would describe it as a crunchy wet plant. A carrot is never meant to taste anything other than a crunchy wet plant. So when you’re forced to live a reality where the expectation of a crunchy wet plant is destroyed with an awful-crunchy-gone bad-tastes like bad milk-carrot you have to say something. That’s right. I had a carrot that dismantled every expectation I have had of a carrot. It was shattered. I don’t know if this is where that saying about “shame on me” comes in, but it really felt like it. Shame on me for having such an expectation for a carrot. Or am I upsetting myself because I assumed that every carrot would taste the same.
